@Sumo yes i wouldn't deny the obvious stopping benefits of hydraulic but can't imagine mechanical is that bad right? We're talking about a 'gravel' bike that is used more for commuting with the odd weekend gravel ride thrown in so i guess my point is well, are hydraulic brakes necccesary or could i sacrifice the braking performance a bit for some more comfort on the hoods

I've got some TRP Spyres which are perfectly funcitonal for commuting with the odd weekend ride thrown in. You can adjust the pad spacing too with a little allen key which solves the long lever pull before biting issue.

Honestly I was really happy with the Hy/Rd calipers. It was nice not having to buy new levers and everything else too.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention if you didn't already know, Hy/Rd are cable actuated hydraulic same as Juin Tech R1. My experience with full cable disc brakes has been pretty terrible although I've not tried Spyres.

Curious about this one too. Everyone told me hydraulic is worth it so that's what I got. Would be interesting to know how much difference there actually is though
